Im (STILL) interested in finding anybody who might want to be making videos for our youtube channel.

This could be silly and experimental content (as seen by Jaguar Skills and Cmaster), to more documentary style videos to catalogue our strategic nights. Im thinking along the lines of 10-20 minute videos where key strategic or funny moments from the night were compiled together to create something remeniscent in style to the videos of CHKilroys arma/dayz videos:http://www.youtube.com/user/chkilroy

If we could get somebody who is competent in video capture and editing to create something like this, that would be great, though even if you consider yourself an amateur, feel free to submit videos.

We have a lot of awesome coverage of the silly events, which is great, but we could also do with a few videos to showcase our more competetive side. Perhaps some CCEU Coverage?

I figure snapshot style videos would be a lot less boring to a viewer than hours of footage, but feel free to propose your own spin on things. Id like people to see the fun side of our tactical nights!

If anybody is interested in taking on the task, please let me know.

I made an RPS gmail email account, which we can use for... stuff... if necessary.

Dunno if I'm proficient enough in graphicsy photoshopping to make the background, but if ideas is what you are after, a fairly simple graphic incorporating the Rock Paper Shotgun logo (so it's recognisable), perhaps bastardised to read 'Rock Planet Shotgun' and I guess some atmospheric in-game imagery could be good. Empty landscape, or artsy detail is probably best, so as not to distract too badly from the videos. Giraffe camo = bonus. Some of the bright coloured smoke/plasma in past videos looked really good, perhaps try that in background image (might be too distracting tho)? Have the image running off to either side at the top, blending into a block colour (black?) background below and to the far sides to keep it elegant and low file size.

Fairly boring suggestions, but appropriate to the purpose and not too invasive/silly (it's just the backdrop, let the silliness in the videos shine out). Slick and tasteful would be what makes it look good, using a perspective in the game that people have not seen before would make it interesting/memorable (like a well-framed landscape shot, or well composed close-up image of some detail).

Yes, I know I draw like a five year old child. I didn't really ever get beyond that. Basically though, the Vanu trinity of the logo but with rock, planet, shotgun instead. Perhaps too complex and such.

If anyone think the idea - the idea, not the drawing (lol) - is good I can pitch it to CH1LL1E (a member of RPS and friend) that can actually draw.

If I were to design it myself, I would probably go for a double border design at the sides, perhaps with the logo at top.

It would be similar to the bf3 promo images, where you have tanks rolling, soldiers and planes... In fact, something similar to the Planetside loading screen image with the three people, but JUST vanu, and perhaps in black and white.

So on the left, the tanks, planets etc fly slightly left, and on the right, slightly right... if you get what I mean here...

Im not going to do it, but I thought something like that could be cool. Either using screenshots, or hand drawn artwork, or even a combination of the two, making screenshots stylised.

How about a giraffe silhouette imposed on a planet (auraxis) then? Think of the Scythemoonthing. Like jaguars text quite a bit, we should use that somewhere. For logo purposes it would be better if everything except the text was cropped away.
